Ship and Shore Day Bags - What to Pack?

[RockinMama]

Of course there are the obvious things, camera, sunscreen, sunglasses - or change of clothes for shore excursions - but what are your lists of must haves and/or packed and didn't need afterall? I would hate to carry around crap I really didn't need to just as much as getting caught w/o something I really do need - especially off the ship!

What shore excursion needs a change of clothes? I'm assuming you mean changing into/out of a swim suit?

Aspirin/Tylenol, something for upset tummies, water, KTTW card, money. I'd hate to be somewhere where I couldn't control a sudden headache or upset tummy.

Almost all of the DCL shore excursions recommended bringing a change of clothes ... ?? Do you disagree? We are doing a dolphin encounter - I for one dont like walking around in a wet bathing suit under my clothes.

Tylenol is a definite!

Yes, you'll need a change of clothes for the dolphin encounter. On the encounter we did in Puerto Vallarta they had a professional photographer. I would assume yours will too. and the pictures are pricey, but how could we resist. Good thing they accepted plastic. The ship will furnish towels so you don't have to haul them out of your room.

I know, and being a photographer myself, reading that I can't take my own photos KILLS me! LOL! So I'll definitely want photos of my DD7's time with the dolphins
